  1. As long as Kopech comes back okay and Cease doesn't get hurt again (knock on wood), they should be fine...anything from Dunning or Hansen/Fulmer would be gravy (especially the latter).
  2. It is now my personal mission in life to get everyone to spell Pollock correctly... Pollack and Pollock. Pollack (Atlantic or Cornish). Pollack (with an 'a') is closely related to coley and the two are often confused. Whole fish range from 500g to .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polack In the contemporary English language, the nouns Polack or Polak are ethnic slurs and derogatory references to a person of Polish descent
  3. Poor Dylan Covey and Fulmer. Well, they'll be stuff thrown at the wall hoping it will stick if they're not traded or the victim of roster crunches.
  4. So Bud Norris is an asshole http://www.metsrefugees.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113157 I might actually pick all our old friend Brett Myers over him.
  5. Grandal for one year was never going to make sense to the White Sox in the same way it has for Milwaukee, who are attempting to maximize their chances to win the NL Central on a yearly basis (kind of the way the White Sox used to operate in the 2000-2009 time frame.) Not to mention this buys Collins and Zavala another year to prove themselves defensively. To sign him for 3-4 years when their competitive window might not even begin until 2 years from now...especially for catchers who have an expedited aging curve, well, it just was not a good move for the Sox.
  6. https://www.indiewire.com/2018/06/hereditary-toni-collette-oscars-awards-1201971449/ Then I'll simply answer it this way. If the last three movies I've seen are Escape Room, Bumblebee and A Dog's Way Home...somehow that doesn't exactly constitute "high brow." Hereditary was a very well-done movie in that genre, Collette is always very solid. That said, you never even answered the question whether you saw "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" You can argue on behalf of Hereditary all you want, but to put down McCarthy (and I don't even like her that much, even though many do enjoy movies like Bridesmaids and The Heat) in this particular case isn't warranted. It's also not like you can even say they picked the "prettier/Hollywood ingenue" actress in this case. As far as Black Panther goes...it was one of the most entertaining/mainstream movies of the year, and the Academy Awards can't draw an audience if they're completely immersed in award films like The Artist or Roma. They have to select some more popular fare, one of the most obvious examples of this was District 9.

  8. LAD would hang up the phone and laugh. Just offering 3 or even 4-5 guys like that doesn’t do anything for a win the WS or bust team like the Dodgers, unless they can be envisioned as high leverage relievers.
  9. Ummm...I don’t recall ever projecting Barnum as much of anything, because we suck with high school players...Trey M was the other from that group that was overhyped. I know he was traded, but his value was somewhere between Fulmer and Engel by that point.
  10. Who? Pollock, no way. CarGo, Adam Jones And Marwin Gonzalez? No CFers there.
  11. Surprised Burdi is still Top 15. Also can’t believe Adams is still clinging to life. And Fulmer’s ineligible, yes? Finally, the selections of Call, Fisher and Sheets haven’t exactly set the world on fire.
  12. Maybe due to his age and the fact he AVERAGED a 1 fWAR each year from 2015-17. How is that comparable to Pederson’s career?
  13. My three year old son really enjoyed that Fly Across America ride at MOM...it’s not so cheap for the amount of time you actually spend, but still worth it. And the huge Lego store. Thectheatres were also really nice, good selection of higher priced (but better quality) concession items.
  14. Progress. It’s White Sox Wednesday, and yet nobody is opining a signing will occur today. Apathy is really setting in, with there being very little to say that hasn’t been said 100 times before.
  15. Because if you had taken the time to watch it, you would have a different opinion unless you deliberately refused to be open-minded (like many as far as A Star is Born) goes. The last movie even similar to Hereditary to get Oscar praise was probably The Hours, and even that’s not a close approximation. Rom com and horror and most sci fi just don’t usually end up contending, that’s just the way it has always been. Have to go back to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  16. Madrigal haters won’t be happy, and the AFL showing was not enough to save Robert from falling a bit. Dylan Cease though...en fuego. And only one White Sox draft pick listed though. That’s a bit of a disappointment.
  17. Yes, but not until you first sign Machado...which might not even happen, or happen before spring training. If you aren’t sure you have Manny, it’s not a wise decision. The fact of the matter is that Joc Pederson could easily get paid just $13 million the next two years for 6 fWAR of production (value of $57 million). We’re not going to get anything close to that from Herrera or Colome. Using your argument, with Bryce Harper only at 11.3 for the last three years (and not 10 alone for 2015), he’s not even a 4 war player, he’s 3.8 x let’s say 9.5 million, he would only be worth $35-36 million per year...but he will never agree to sign for that.
  18. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-harper-manny-machado-rhys-213643079.html Now Rhys Hoskins is opining that the Phillies should get at least one of Harpchado...
  19. There was a lot of talk about moving Kipnis to CF...because of obvious weaknesses all around the outfield. He's been so inconsistent offensively, which is a killer for a small market team, (see Gordon, Alex). fWAR (starting in 2011) 0.8, 3.4, 5.1, 0.7, 4.5, 4.7, 0.5, 2.1 (for his four peak seasons, an impressive 4.4 player)
  20. I think you've been listening to the Bumblebee or Ready Player One soundtrack too much. Mall of America in terms of retail is dying...some of the rides/attractions for kids are fine, but it wasn't that impressive.
  21. Lindor and Ramirez, obviously, Moncada over Kipnis. DH could go either way. Abreu at 1B. God knows about the OF, other than Jimenez, for either team. Catcher would also seemingly favor the White Sox, although the Indians are still looking to upgrade 1 Francisco Lindor SS 657 115 33 90 21 0.283 0.351 0.505 0.856 66 101 2 Jason Kipnis 2B 465 61 16 61 8 0.243 0.317 0.413 0.730 48 101 3 Jose Ramirez 3B 580 104 31 93 26 0.295 0.382 0.548 0.930 80 74 4 Carlos Santana DH 563 85 25 83 4 0.245 0.359 0.444 0.803 101 94 5 Jake Bauers 1B 323 47 10 43 9 0.220 0.318 0.384 0.702 46 98 6 Greg Allen OF 322 48 3 25 23 0.258 0.325 0.348 0.673 23 79 7 Tyler Naquin OF 309 42 7 37 3 0.262 0.309 0.392 0.701 19 88 8 Leonys Martin OF 333 47 10 31 12 0.243 0.308 0.393 0.701 29 86 9 Roberto Perez C 288 27 6 38 1 0.181 0.269 0.299 0.568 35 102
